SEPTEMBER 07 - GIVING COLOUR AN AIRING…

A further dimension is being aired on commercial and domestic windows and conservatories by Passivent Ltd.

One of the UK’s leading suppliers of background ventilation products, the company has developed additional options to the growing demand for colour: it can paint not only the frames, but the window ventilators too.

Until recently, PVCu windows have predominantly been white or woodgrain, with ventilators available in white or brown. The technology employed by Passivent enables any RAL or Pantone colour to be used, and enables both windows and tricklevents to be coated simultaneously, ensuring an exact match of colour to both elements, or for the tricklevents to be individually coated to provide a contrast and make a feature of the window design. The paint used is high quality, weather-proof and UV stable, and is guaranteed for 10 years.

Using years of experience applying durable finishes to exterior building materials, Passivent has already achieved approved applicator status for its window finish.

Passivent tricklevents are simple to install on the window frame, and feature a number of innovative design features such as upwards directional airflow to alleviate draughts and discomfort, a trickle facility to ensure a constant supply of fresh air even when closed and  humidity sensitive and acoustic options. When used in conjunction with BBA- approved Passivent systems instead of intermittent ventilation fans, only one vent per habitable room, giving 2500mm2 net ventilation, is required to achieve compliance with latest Building Regulations

For noisy locations, acoustic options area available, providing sound attenuation down to 42dBn,e,w.

Passivent is the only natural ventilation supplier to offer independent BBA certification across its range, proven in use for over 20 years. In addition to its background trickle ventilators, it supplies the Fresh range of through wall ventilators, plus ‘whole house’ natural ventilation solutions and continuous mechanical extract ventilation, with or without acoustic options, all of which contribute towards efficient ventilation of the home with little or no energy consumption. Passivent is part of the Building Product Design Group, which specialises in developing innovative yet practical ventilation and roofing products in line with changing market requirements.
